Voss/Villie-- articulation is waste-up only. I actually like the paint apps and sculpts alot- besides it's the first time I got these anyway-I don't really expect Hasbro to do a first time figure correctly (they stand to make more $ by not) anyway. Vos' skirt is awesome it's really flexible so he can pilot ships easily-nice touch. Villie- kudos to Hasbro by not just using a labria repainting him and calling him Villie(I wouldn't put it past them either, but I'm glad they didn't).

Obi/Alpha-- The jewel of the wave. Both figures are SAC. For a first time figure Alpha is really done well -though I guess this was an easier first-time fig for Hasbro since it's a clone . The torn /worn skirt really looks great-gives a blowing in the wind effect-nice accessory as well with arm communication thingy added and oversized shoulder pad. Obi-wan=awesome but not quite perfect. He cannot hold the lightsaber with 2 hands, and his cloak really takes away from his SAC. it 'looks' like the cloak could be removed in some way but, even if you do then now you still have permanent 'cloak' arms on him. He has a great sculpt, head sculpt is new too (I really like it). Really good touch as well with the soft goods underskirt-- we caught JediMac looking under it at our SOCAL lunch get together !

Luke/R2-- Nice repaints I guess. I didn't realize Luke was really basically a VOTC stormie with Luke head sculpt added on. Oh, and another R2 .

* I really like the value we get out of these sets, I recall in the beginning I was irritated about the line especially with the announced first wave, but now that we're past the repacks(last one luke/r2) I'm really stoked about this 'line' after all. Brand new sculpts-some SAC even, 2 figures AND a comic book (that I already have but no matter) for good value. I was concerned about price increase when the new figs started but I'm glad they didn't increase it!

Anyone else more than a little mildly disturbed by the fudge-y stain that's somewhat, er, strategically located? Clones getting a little friendly? I mean honestly, there's only a couple of explanations for that:

1. dropped a burger in my lap at lunch and didn't have time to clean2. I had an itch and there was only this rotting tree stump to rub up against3.
